| Reverse description | Standing male deity, identified as Agathos Daimon or a similar tutelary figure, depicted facing front in the field, raising one arm and holding a serpent-entwined staff (caduceus or similar attribute) in the other hand; a serpent rises at the left of the figure. The circular Greek legend ΥΠΕΡ ΝΙΚΗϹ ΤΩΝ ΚΥΡΙΩΝ ϹΕ surrounds the type, translating as 'for the victory of the Lords Augusti,' a votive formula referencing the joint rule of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus during the Parthian campaigns. The reverse type reflects the strong Hellenistic religious traditions of Carrhae and the broader Mesopotamian provincial coinage. |
